WWJD? Probably Think, I Imagine.
I need to understand how those "of faith" continue to consider good luck as "divine intervention" and bad luck...Or stupidity...As simply an unforeseen circumstance.
So we have these jokers who either did not put enough fuel in their plane or failed to monitor the fuel level, crediting an answered prayer for their survival. Now, if God really wanted to protect them, why didn't he just have them check their fuel gauge every now & then? Or, better yet, why didn't he just have his son do a variation on that endless fish trick he did a couple thousand years ago, this time just creating an endless supply of fuel until the simpletons had enough flying for the day?
Once again, the view of the bible-thumpers is "it doesn't matter my actions or choices, God will look out for me." Oh to have such a child-like lack of responsibility. I'm curious, did the 46 people who died in a February plane crash in Venezuela not pray hard enough? I mean, sure the plane hit a mountain versus running out of fuel, but it's the same concept; the pilot isn't paying attention to conditions. What is the answer from the thumpers regarding this event and divine intervention? Surely, if God can deny His own laws of physics to carry a plane beyond its fuel capacity for 2 people, he could have moved a mountain for 46 people, yes?
Thumpers, for the last time; God had nothing to do with either of these events. Human error started the ball rolling and random events factored into the conclusion. Crediting God with a save is no more plausible than blaming Him when the results are bad. These guys believing God saved them is the ultimate in arrogance...As if their lives were more important to God than anyone else who did not survive a disaster.
And by the way, don't give me that "He works in mysterious ways" crap. The only thing mysterious about the contradictions is why some people choose to live their lives as literal interpretations of the metaphorical sheep.
